Su Meimei looked at Liu Zhixing in bewilderment.

What he had said meant that he was going to leave her in Qiao Lian’s hands. He did not even have any intention of protecting her!

Biting her lips, she clenched her fists.

Qiao Lian looked down.

She had been working in this news agency for nine months, and she did not like it here.

If she could, she would leave too. But now, she could not give up yet.

For the sake of Dad and Mom, she had to pull through.

Now, she would never let go of the opportunity to fight for her own interests. “Su Meimei is my chief editor now—”

“What chief editor? I have not even submitted the letter of appointment. Qiao Lian, you have worked so hard and achieved so much for the news agency! Team Two’s chief editor’s position definitely belongs to you!”

Once again, Qiao Lian’s lips curled into a smirk.

She had secured the position of Team Two’s chief editor, so Liu Zhixing would have to take into account her status before bullying her next time.

She turned her head and asked, “What about Su Meimei?”

Liu Zhixing looked at her. “What do you think?”

Qiao Lian lowered her head. “I need an assistant for Fan Jie’s interview.”

“Su Meimei can support you!”

Qiao Lian continued, “We should also find an explanation for Mo Ru’s matter.”

Liu Zhixing nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Shoot, how do you want to explain it?”

Qiao Lian looked at Su Meimei. “Let her go look for Mo Ru and explain the late-arrival incident clearly!”

Su Meimei body suddenly trembled for a moment.

Mo Ru was well-known to have a very bad temper in the industry. If she were to go explain everything clearly, she would surely not be let off easily.

She looked at Liu Zhixing, signalling for help. However, she only heard him say without hesitation, “No problem!”

Qiao Lian sneered and stared at Su Meimei. When her face turned pale and as she broke out in cold sweat, she finally said, “That’s all. You go get me a cup of coffee and bring it to the conference room right now.”

Seeing that proud face of hers, Su Meimei wished she could just rush over and tear off her mask.

She clenched her fists. Before she could speak, Liu Zhixing had already walked to her and tugged at her sleeve. “Hurry up, hurry up, go get a cup of coffee!”

Actually, there wasn’t much to do with Fan Jie because whatever requests Qiao Lian made, he would accept them all.

As a result, the work went very smoothly.

After the exclusive interview concluded, Qiao Lian took him downstairs.

In the lift, there was no one, so Fan Jie finally said, “Woah, Sister-in-law. I finally get to call you ‘sister-in-law’. I almost died of suffocation! Calling you Ms Qiao makes me feel like a stranger.”

Qiao Lian: …

If she remembered correctly, this was only her third time meeting Fan Jie. Wasn’t this guy too casual when getting acquainted with people?

The ends of her lips twitched and she said, “Mr Fan—”

“Look at you, you are too courteous! Sister-in-law, just call me Fan Jie.”

Qiao Lian had no choice but to change the way of addressing him. “Fan Jie.”

“This definitely feels more comfortable. Sister-in-law, I really did not know that I had created a misunderstanding in your news agency! However, you could say I helped you indirectly, right? So, Sister-in-law, can you not tell Brother Shen about what happened at the news agency?”

Darn it! His muddleheadedness had actually caused trouble for sister-in-law. If Brother Shen found out about this, he would not let him off.

He said immediately, “Look, last time, because I noticed you weren’t in a good mood, I told Brother Shen. Hehe. How did Brother Shen comfort you?”

When Qiao Lian heard this, her eyes widened suddenly.

Shen Liangchuan had said that he had happened to pass by that day.

She had already felt that something was off at that time. Wasn’t that too much of a coincidence?

So it had been Fan Jie who had called him, which is the reason he had gone looking for her?
